Ferrus Manus
Ferrus Manus was the Primarch of the Iron Hands Chapter of Space Marines, HIS HANDS ARE MADE OF IRON! His name is also Latin for "Iron Hand". Real subtle, GW. He got said hands after wrestling with a silver dragon on the planet he crashed on and dripped the lizard into magma and then the metallic skin of the dragon fused into the skin on his hands. Wait, living metal? That sounds oddly familiar for some reason... Anyway, his arms became so fucking hardcore that he did not even *need* a weapon to tear through dudes: his iron hands were more than enough.
Ferrus, using his shiny metal hands, could make epic weapons that absolutely kick ass but he only used like one or two of them. It's not clear as to whether he or Vulkan was the best smith, but Ferrus certainly had the better way of making weapons, by punching them into shape.
Back in the days of the good ol' Horus Heresy Ferrus made a big blingy sword for his good ol' buddy Fulgrim, but Fulgrim found a new boyfriend/girlfriend/hermaphroditic freak. Then decided to screw over Ferrus, Fulgrim totally outmatched Ferrus with his HAWTNEZZ and Ferrus jacked the sword he made for his ex-boyfriend back. Some time later after some epic planning that would EPICALLY FAIL, Ferrus goes with other Primarchs to attempt to kick Fulgrim's and Horus's ass. But then they got totally fucked up by a bunch of reinforcements while Ferrus assrapes Fulgrim... until he becomes Slaanesh's boyfriend; and proceeds to cut Ferrus Manus's head off. Horus was pretty fucking pissed at this.
It is not known what came to be of Ferrus' head, but when talking about Fulgrim it's best not to dwell on these things...

Praise be to Forge World for the making of this! The head even comes as a seperate part... -
For a very long time this was one of only two officially produced images of Ferrus Manus, drawn by John Blanche. The other image showed only his backside. Ever get the feeling you're the unfavorite? Ferrus understands you. -
